Cereus Cactus blooms
There are some unimpressive cactus, like plants growing up sable palms in the yard and around the city. if you are here in summer and are out past sunset, look for the blooms. They only last one night, but are quite impressive.

Summertime kayaking at night, best with no moon. Every movement causes water to light up with plankton that glow.
